HILLTOP SUMMER ACADEMY

Hilltop Arboretum ~ 11855 Highland Road

Time to register for our 2009 Day Camp!

Now in its 7th season, Hilltop Summer Academy provides an outstanding summer nature program for children ages 4-7.

Our counselors are enthusiastic and experienced, but the real teacher at Hilltop is our most treasured resource--the land. The goals of the day camp are to develop an understanding of how the natural world works, to foster an appreciation for nature, and to nurture the sense of awe and wonder for the natural world.

This year’s theme “Critter Camp: A Backyard Safari” will include outdoor discovery, exploration and observations throughout our 14 acres of woodlands and meadows. New studies point to direct exposure to nature as essential for a child’s healthy physical and emotional development. This is our cure for nature-deficit disorder in children!
